P.S.P. Specialties, the leading lubricant manufacturer and total solutions provider of automotive and industrial lubricant and specialty products, is making new progress with its growth roadmap with a strategy to leverage its strengths as a total solutions provider and expand into new businesses to grow its business.
Riding the new waves, the company has established P.S.P. Ventures and started a new venture by investing in WhatsEGG (Thailand), a leading automotive spare parts marketplace platform in Thailand (EGG Mall), to strategically expand the company's customer bases and business synergies. The joint venture plans to capture the gross market value of 7 billion baht over the next five years.
Mr. Pavares Boontanonda, Chairman of the Board of P.S.P. Specialties Company Limited (PSP), revealed, “Thailand is in transition to a fully-fledged digital economy, as evident in rising adoption of digital technologies and systems for greater competitiveness of companies across industries as well as in robust emergence of e-commerce businesses in Thailand. The trend is also favoured by government policies including the Thailand 4.0 economic model, digital economy master plan, and high-speed Internet infrastructure projects. As a result, the marketplace for many industries has grown significantly, especially consumer goods and automotive part markets. Therefore, it is a great opportunity for the company to invest in the market.
“We expect to capture gross market value of 7 billion baht equivalent to over 100% CAGR in the next five years. All these results show a great opportunity for PSP to expand into new business as well as to demonstrate its capability and reaffirm its status as the best neutral platform in the lubricant and automotive-related market. We are committed to continued growth of every business unit in our group. As a major shareholder of PSP, we encourage PSP to pursue this opportunity to align its expansion strategy with economic trends. The Board of Directors of PSP has therefore resolved to set up P.S.P. Ventures and approved its investment in WhatsEGG, one of the world’s leading automotive spare parts companies, driving the business to the top,” he said.
